Chinese CVs are often the story of difficult lives and bright hope
As a foreigner, I always thought that "egalitarianism" meant a society where everybody is entitled to equal rights. Only recently did I learn that in Chinese translation egalitarianism can have a different meaning – equal pay and benefits for the same job, even if one worker is productive and the other is a lazy goof-off. I learned these distinctions not in a language textbook, but while reading ... (Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:37:59 GMT)
